The Big Finish
批評家のレビュー
"A funny, witty caper filled with charm and unexpected friendship." (Helen Simonson, New York Times best-selling author of Major Pettigrew's Last Stand)
"Warm, funny, and tender, The Big Finish is a journey of discovery and second chances you won't want to end." (J. Ryan Stradal, New York Times best-selling author of The Lager Queen of Minnesota)

"[A] funny, winning debut." (People)
“Delightfully quirky and endearing...an absolute pleasure to read!" (Number one New York Times best-selling author Emily Giffin)
Meet Duffy, an old curmudgeon who lives in an assisted-living home.
Meet Josie, a desperate young woman who climbs through his window.
Together, they’re going to learn it’s never too late - or too early - to change your ways.
For Duffy Sinclair, life boils down to one simple thing: maintaining his residence at the idyllic Centennial Assisted Living. Without it, he’s destined for the roach-infested nursing home down the road - and after wasting the first 88 years of his life, he refuses to waste away for the rest. So, he keeps his shenanigans to the bare minimum with the help of his straight-laced best friend and roommate, Carl Upton.
But when Carl’s granddaughter Josie climbs through their bedroom window with booze on her breath and a black eye, Duffy’s faced with trouble that’s sticking around and hard to hide - from Centennial’s management and Josie’s toxic boyfriend. Before he knows it, he’s running a covert operation that includes hitchhiking and barhopping.
He might as well write himself a one-way ticket to the nursing home...or the morgue. Yet Duffy’s all in. Because thanks to an unlikely friendship that becomes fast family - his life doesn’t boil down the same anymore. Not when he finally has a chance to leave a legacy.
In a funny, insightful, and life-affirming debut, Brooke Fossey delivers an unflinching look at growing old, living large, and loving big, as told by a wise-cracking man who didn’t see any of it coming.
